The Central Penn College Education Foundation is a non-profit
organization whose sole mission is to raise funds to support
Central Penn College students through scholarships. Central Penn
College, like other educational institutions, is faced with rising
tuition costs. Many of our students may not have the opportunity to
attend college without financial assistance. In fact, approximately
90% of Central Penn students receive some sort of financial
aid.

We realize there is an immediate need in responding to the
financial challenges of worthy students who wish to attend Central
Penn. To continue the College's tradition of offering the quality
of a private, career-focused, student-centered education at an
affordable price, the Foundation must continue to be successful in
raising private support.

The Foundation's fund-raising, investment, and scholarship
disbursement programs are reviewed quarterly by a board of
trustees. The Foundation sustains its fund-raising program through
the following areas: annual giving, planned giving, major and
special campaigns, corporate giving, foundation giving, and
fund-raising events.

All contributions are made through the Foundation and are
focused on providing scholarship support for deserving students at
the College. If you choose a special designation for your gift, it
will be used in the area that you specify. If your gift is
unrestricted, your donation will be placed in the foundation's
scholarship endowment or annual fund.

Normally, a company's human resources department will have that
information and supply you with the forms you may need. Then, the
Foundation Office will verify your giving so the transaction can be
completed.

Gifts made to the Central Penn College Education Foundation are recognized in a variety of ways. The College's alumni magazine, distributed to approximately 10,000 alumni and friends of Central Penn, regularly publishes scholarship fund lists and periodically publishes donor lists. Gifts also have been recognized via the Foundation's Annual Report & Honor Roll, the College's community e-newsletter, Community Central, and through press releases to local media.

Donors also have the option of remaining anonymous, should they choose.
